DESCRIPTION:

You’d love to get your kids through college debt-free — but your kids aren’t getting any scholarships, you haven’t saved for college, and you make too much to get government financial aid. Is there still hope? Yes, but you’ll need someone to guide you.

In LAUNCH, academic strategist Jeannie Burlowski lays out clear, step-by-step strategies that empower and inspire parents to get their kids through high quality, best-fit colleges debt-free — and then directly into jobs they love afterward.

Get all the information you need most, and get it fast.

As a parent, all you’ll need to do is read just one chapter of LAUNCHevery 1-3 months while your child is in middle school and high school — and you’ll know every viable strategy for debt-free college at exactly the right time to implement it.

You won’t have to slap your forehead when your child’s a senior, lamenting, “I’d give anything if I’d have just known about this sooner!”

And if your child is already well past middle school? That’s OK; you can run to catch up. But the process of getting your kid through college debt-free goes more smoothly the earlier you start it – especially if you’re not planning to save up any money to pay for college.

As One Very Wise Mom Said…

“If I get even one good idea out of this book, it’ll be worth it.”

Experts rave about LAUNCH:

“The checklists at the end of each chapter in this book are fabulous. They’re golden. Well worth the entire price of the book.”

—Bob Shorb, former associate dean of admissions and financial aid and director of student aid and family finance, Skidmore College

“Students who go through college without career direction are, as Jeannie Burlowski says, ‘like archers who pull the arrow back on the bow string, shoot, and then years later look around for the target.’ This book helps parents set their kids up to take aim early and fire a sure shot, whether that’s at medical school or at some other worthy endeavor.”

“I’m a certified financial planner who cares deeply that parents are able to send their kids to college without risking their retirement. You can be sure I’ll be recommending this book every chance I get.”

— Mike Branch, CFP, Focus Financial, Minneapolis, MN

“If I’ve got a mom and dad in my office and they’ve got middle schoolers, I know that bad college planning can potentially divert thousands away from that couple’s retirement savings. If I can hand the mom a book and say: ‘Here’s a book that’ll walk you step-by-step through getting your kids through college debt-free and into jobs they love afterward,’ I’ve not just saved her some retirement money; I’m her personal hero.”

—Emilie Goldman, Tamarind Financial, San Mateo, California

“High school guidance counselors have a difficult time covering the intricacies of the college admission and financing process in the small amount of time they have to work with a large number of students. This book fills in all the gaps—and more—for parents.”

—Josie Robinson, author and former high school guidance and career counselor, White Bear Lake Area High School

LAUNCH will teach you:

1. Twelve things you can do right now to put your kids on the fast track to getting through college debt-free — whether your child’s in high school or in diapers.

2. Why pressuring kids to “get into a good college” and then pushing them to take on suffocating debt to pay for it is not the fastest, best route to career satisfaction and future financial stability.

3. How kids as young as age 15 can get an exciting, liberating sense of possible career goal early on, and then sign up for only the amount of college absolutely necessary to accomplish that.

4. How kids as young as age 12 can get a massive head start on racking up the 10,000 hours it takes to be viewed as expert in a career field.

Jeannie Burlowski is a full-time academic strategist, author, and speaker. Her expertise in this field comes from more than twenty years of helping students apply to highly competitive law, medical, business, and graduate schools at GetIntoMedSchool.com.

If you’re a Certified Financial Planner, you remember the days when financial planners would focus mostly on parents’ retirement, leaving college planning to high school guidance counselors.

No more.

Increasingly, top financial planners are realizing, “We need a way to guide parents to keep the college costs way down, so families have all the cash they need to pour into retirement.”

No financial planner wants to spend three years figuring out all the zillions of ways families can keep college costs down, though. Neither do financial planners have time to spend 100 hours explaining these strategies to parents.

What financial planners need is one book they can hand to parents. One empowering, inspiring book that provides moms and dads with clear step-by-step instruction, so parents can set their kids up to graduate college debt-free and move directly into careers they excel at and love. Even if those parents can’t save up ahead of time and don’t qualify for financial aid or scholarships.
